.The principal object of this invention is' to provide ineens for holding in e need position in e. dip ing freine o. plurality ont candy sucker stic rs, so thet the suckers tney he readily dipped into e vot or suitable recelotecle for the purpose of coating the candy on the sticlts to thereby produce finished erticles.

A. further object oi this invention is to rovide ineens essocieteol with the dipping freine, whereby the sticlrs moy readily clernped in e fixed .position hei'ore the dipn ning ection occurs end readily reieesed troni i the ironie elterthe dipping operetion has heen completed.

A still further object orq this invention is to -provide e device of cherecter described, which is simple in construction, else strong end durable, economical to menntecture, end e device which een he easily essenchled end disessernhled.

ln my previously tiled spplieetion the principle wes employed of supporting in e treme e plurelity oi sticlrs end then hy'posi tive grippingv -meens withdrowing these strips bv en extracting treme end then when the stic s were inthe seid extrooting treme subjecting the seme to e dipping operation in order to either eccumulete on the sticks cendy to produce-the types ot ished er ticiesolrnown 'es suclters, or to cost the eendyv elready on the sticks to thereby produce 4nished coeted articles. ln the present invention l propose to do ewey with the two told operation end ey loy hut e single on,

eration to complete t e tormetion o the linished cendied erticles.

ln the eccornpenyins; drewings wherein for the purpose oil illustration is shown o preferred ernloodiment ci? rny invention, the device comprises e dipping treme designeted es e whole hy the nnnierel l0., This treme embodies in its construction end sills il enel l2, which ere recessed respectively et lil, lll end l5. Adopted to connect the peir oil sills ere losse hoorde le, which ere received in noted-tiret the side hers 17 end i8 ere of e streight formation on their side `feces., while on their inner feces there ere formed semicirculer depressions 20. @n eech side ieee ci the intermediste hers i9 there ere likewise toed the semi-circuler depressions end when the stri s ere esseinhled, es shown to edvontege in ig. 9, e. plurality et complete circuler depressions ere provided.

ln thesedenressions 2G l propose to est the lower ends. et S6encinas99 sticks el, which here 'mounted' thereon en eeculetion et cendy prior to the clipping et the se in evet or reeeptecle, (not shownl. l

le shown to edvente in Fig. the tormeoliete here l@ en i the side on the line 5--5 et Athe lowerrecesses le. eceiveble within the t@ Miti' bars 17 andlSl are reduced at the ends iny strips will have suicient play thereinyet they are retained in a fixed position in therecesses when the frame' is completely assembled. The means for retaining the bars 19 in position comprises topboards 23, whlch .are detachably secured by fastening elements 24 to the top surface of the sills 11 and^12.

' In order that the sticks 21 may be retained and held in a 'fixed position in the .depressionsl20 and between the respective parallel bars 19, I have provided elongated bolts- 25, adapted to be inserted through transverse apertures 2 6, bored inthe side faces of dit the plurality of strips. From a consideration of Figures 3 and 8, it will be noted that the elongated bolts 25 are threaded' adjacent their extremities, in order to receive thereon Wing nuts 27.v The purpose of the elongated bolts and nuts being to bind the sticks 21 between the strips 17, 18 and 19, in order lthat the frame 10 may be moved as a unitv without danger of the sticks falling from the saine.A

In Fig. 9 there is Shown a modified form that may be employed for positively retaining the sticks 21 in the depressions 20 to assure the .operator against accidental 4displacement of thesticks. vThis means comprises spring tongues 28, which are secured at one end to the top of the bars and contact adjacent their 4opposite ends with the sticks 21.V

, From the peculiar constrction of the end sills, it willbe apparent that hand holds 29 are provided, in order that when the frame is suspended over a vat, one or more operators can readily grasp the frame.

InFigures 3 and 8 li have shown means for causing the respective cross bars to always be in loseproiximityto each other, and in order to accomplish this result -the bars 18 'are counterbored as at 29 and coil springs 30 are adapted to-.encirclethe bolts 215, It will'be apparent that the respective extremitieso'f the springs 30 will contact with the counter! bored endof the bars and the extensions 31 vof the wing nuts 2?a Thus when one of the candy sticks is inserted in a depression the spring construction just described will serve to return the bars to their normal position and thus tightl grip the sticks.

In the use o my device the plurality of sticks 21, which have formed thereon the unnished suckers are inserted in the depres-` sions 20, termed by the parallel, sticks.A After this has been accomplished, the wing nuts 27 are tightened on the elongated bolts which penetrate the respective strips and a bindung action tems place, whereby the sticks 21 are retained in position against accidental displacement. The frame 10 is then lmanually moved as a unit, next inverted, and

either f ositioned above or rested upon the edge ofp there is-contained a uantity of the coating material to be accumu ated on'the uniinished suckers. When this step has been accomthe vat before referred to, in which plished, the frame 10 is removed intact from its position on the vat and by the unscrewin of the wing nuts, and consequent` latera freedom of movement given to the bars the finished suckers are allowed to dropupon a suitable receiving table. The above mentioned operation is again repeated for thev purpose of forming a new lot of articles.

For the purpose of assuring a tight wedg- ,ing of the sticks in the depressions, Lproposeto assemble the sticks in parallel relawant in the candy trade, and a device which will` accomplish the formation of a great quantity of the articles referred to in a minimum amount of time and with small effort v on the part of the operator.

It is understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described, is

gtion, then bore holes at the desired points of 'contact of the bars'and next plane the respecforth a device that will fulfil a long needed to be taken asa preferred example of the y same, and that various changes inthe shape, size and` arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit joined claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim z-j- `f 1. A device of the character described comprising end sills, parallel cross bars havof the invention of thescope of the sublic ing depressions formed therein to receive a plurality, of sticks and adapted to; be posi` tioned in'said sills, and'clamping means secured to' said cross bars to compress the latter, whereby vthe sticks positioned therein are retained in a iixed position.

2. A device 'of the character ldescribed comprising'` receed end sills, a plurality of parallel cross bars being apertured in their side faces and having reduced extremities lll,

'positioned in the recesses of said sills the width ofthe assembled bars being narrower than the recessed portions of the sills, and clamping means penetrating said cross bars for retaining in a xed position sticks resting in depressions formed in said'bars.

3. A' device of the character describefiliV comprising recessed end sills, a pluralit" of cross bars being apertured their nde aces -in the recesses of said sills, the Width of the assembled bars being narrower than the recessed portions of the sills, top boards secured to said sills for retaining the cross bars therein, and clamping means penetrating said apertured cross bars for retaining in a fixed position sticks resting in depressions formed in said bars.

4. A device of the character described comprising recessed end sills, a plurality of cross bars being apertured in their side' faces and having reduced extremities positioned in the recesses of said sills, the Width of the assembled bars being narrower than the recessed portions of the sills, top boards secured to said' sills for retaining the cross bars therein, and clamping means penetrat! ing said apertured cross bars for retaining in a fixed position sticks resting in depressions formed in said bars, said means comprising elongated bolts penetrating the aperture of said bars, and Wing nuts detachably secured on said bars.

In testimony whereof I alix my signature.
